the colors of His faithfulness

faithfulness

she watched the word seemingly etch itself out onto the smooth sand

by the relentless waves that foamed and swelled, rose and fell

it all seemed so beautiful now, so perfectly fitting and lined up

now that everything could be seen, but it wasn't always that way

on the other side of the sand, the green-blue crests animating the sea

were a reminder of the murky uncertain depths that some must come through

but also a reminder of the beauty that eventually arrives

when one finally surfaces and looks around

the colors of faithfulness are alive and pulsing

faithfulness

he stared at the word scratched into the dirty metal bars

by hands which once inflicted deeper wounds into souls

it all seemed so cliche now, a testament to a change of heart

now that everything was changed, but it wasn't always that way

on the other side of the gray sheet, the letters crudely carved

were a reminder of the heavy burdens some must come through

but also a reminder of the beauty that eventually arives

when one is finally freed and looks back

the colors of faithfulness are unyielding and relentless

faithfulness

she traced the word out onto the foggy windowpane 

by fingers which once couldn't follow even the simplest of lines

it all seemed so easy now, so attainable and in reach

now that everything was good, but it wasn't always that way

on the other side of the glass, the fiery colors painting the fading sky

were a reminder of the fiery trials some must come through

but also a reminder of the beauty that eventually arrives

when one finally finds strength and stand up

the colors of faithfulness are fiery and strong 

faithfulness

he followed the word with his eyes, scrawled in huge letters

on the side of the street by someone who once read words much worse 

it all seemed so bright now, and like a dream where everything is clear

now that everything looked different, but it wasn't always that way

on the other side of the wall, the colors so boldly splashed

were a reminder of the confusion that some must come through

but also a reminder of the beauty that eventually arrives 

when one finally sees the light and steps out

the colors of faithfulness are bold and clear

the colors of faithfulness

are too many to count,

but they're any colors He uses
